Mate, make it clear that you wish to log a formal complaints procedure regarding the poor service you've had and the potential mis-selling of the policy. Also check your documents as quite often the cooling off period in the paperwork will state 14 days from when you receive the documents and not 14 days from the date you purchased the policy. In regards to the cooling off period (just so you don't get dodgy advice), the cooling off period allows you to cancel the policy but it does still allow the company to charge you an admin fee. Like I said, make an official complaint and if you then get no where take to to the ombudsman, it doesn't take you that long, and they will be charged £550 as soon as the FOS accept the case (regardless of the outcome) so the insurer may end up making a business decision to allow you to cancel without charge or maybe just a time on risk charge without cancellation fees etc as its financially in their interest to do so. If you want more info on how to approach the FOS etc then give me a shout mate. Like I said I work in customer relations in insurance

I hate the whole threaten them with the ombudsman thing. I work in complaints at the final level and everybody is like ill go to the ombudsman. Quite frankly, I would make the same decision whether you want to go to the FOS or not. Ever issue and final company decision I make I give the customers the ombudsman rights anyway. Contact them, ask them the question. You cant actually go to the FOS anyway without giving the company the opportunity to resolve the matter first anyway and they have 8 weeks from when they first receive the complaint/sign of dissatisfaction to issue you with a final decision in writing. I think it's easy to forget one of the main principles of insurance is to put a customer back in the position they were in before the loss. And that would mean fixing the car, or paying out the current market value at the time of the loss. If a claims settlement is low (eg dkboro's case) and you can't actually get a similar car for the money, then the insurer isn't indemnifying you properly for the loss you've suffered. They may then ask you to provide evidence that you are unable to buy a similar car etc.
